It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"You don't have to worry too much, right? Didn't they say that Miss He Er has bodyguards?"

Xu Shi comforted her, "At least her life is safe and it won't be that easy for her to get into trouble."

"…This matter was reported to us by her bodyguard."

Director Tang gritted his teeth and said, "They said they followed the man and he disappeared. They didn't dare to tell Shark Tooth, and the leader kept begging me not to tell anyone about it."

"..."

Xu Shiren was stunned. He had never been so speechless before.

Okay, so this is the pressure?

It can only be said that this is human nature. He Jiayuan assigned some bodyguards to his daughter, but these people probably wouldn't take it too seriously. Firstly, they don't think she would really encounter any danger. Secondly, He Yuxia is alone and has no say or status. Those who follow her have no future... so they will naturally neglect them.

But if something like this really happens, they will have to bear the consequences.

Xu Shi could even imagine how those people would look when they came to beg Tang Shuang for help. They would probably be crying and snotting. If it were an ancient setting, he might even have to kowtow twice... It's hard to say. Can't we kowtow in this era?

"...Okay, then I'll help you look for it?"

Xu Shi thought about it, and immediately gave orders, asking Su Lin to transfer some personnel from the Field Affairs Department to work with the Inspection Bureau. By the way, he also gave a greeting to Gu Yi, saying that the network security department would be very useful at this time.

He also informed Wen Shengkui, and the old man was indeed concerned and willing to provide help.

This is actually quite funny. After notifying so many people, I didn’t even think of notifying the people from “Shark Tooth”.

This wasn't really for the future of those bodyguards, he didn't care if they died... The fact was that even if they were notified, it might not be useful, who of the He Lao Da and He Lao San had ever cared about their relative? Maybe they were hoping that something would happen to He Yuxia, so that they could make a fuss about it.

"Thank you so much, Chairman Xu."

Seeing that the other party made these arrangements in an orderly manner, Tang Shuang felt much more relaxed and secretly thought that it was the right decision to come to him.

"I think you owe me a favor."

Xu Shi was frank and said, "I'll ask you to pay it back in the future."

Yes, if you really want to say it, this is his purpose.

To put it in a broader sense, if he has the ambition to unite and unify the Night Sin City, then all aspects must be taken into consideration. Although the Inspection Bureau is not as important as the six major financial groups, it is no exception.

To put it simply...it's not a bad thing to let Director Tang, one of the heroines in the original novel, owe him a favor. The more he owes, the better.

Tang Shuang didn't say anything after hearing this, but her expression became a little strange. When this matter was exposed in front of her, she didn't know how to respond...

"Of course, with the power of your Inspection Bureau, if you haven't been able to find anyone in the past few days, it's more likely to be another situation."

Xu Shi continued, he had not forgotten that He Yuxia had gone out to collect folk songs a few days ago, "which means He Yuxia is not in the city at all."

"...You said she might have gone out of town?"

Tang Shuang suddenly became alert, "Impossible? Ever since the incident with the "Forgotten", the several passages outside the city have been strictly guarded by the Inspection Bureau, and there are great restrictions on entry and exit..."

"It's not easy to get in, but it's not necessarily easy to get out."

Xu Shi shook his head. "I can only say don't ignore this possibility."

"……you're right."

Director Tang thought about it and realized that this was the truth. "I'll go out of the city and look for her myself. If that's the case, then she might really be in danger."

"Then I won't keep you here. Director Tang, take care."

Xu Shi nodded, "No, it should be walking quickly."

"I have to run."

Tang Shuang joked back, but stopped in front of the door and looked back at him.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Shi asked curiously.

"Chairman Xu, can you... go with me?"

Tang Shuang thought about it and asked tentatively.

"no!"

Before Xu Shi could answer, Su Lin on the side refused outright.

She could keep quiet when the young master was talking to others, but how could this be possible?

"Director Tang knows the current situation outside the city better than us. Young Master is not a combatant. Will you be responsible if something goes wrong?"

Not to mention that she was overstepping her authority by answering for Xu Shi, the fact that she could make such a request and didn't scold her was considered well-educated of Director Su.

“…Yeah, my mind is still a little confused.”

Tang Shuang thought about it and waved her hand, "Sorry, Director Xu and Director Su, don't take it to heart."

"it does not matter."

Xu Shi laughed dumbly, "Let's find the person first, as for the rest... we can talk about it after you come back."

In fact, to be honest, he felt that Tang Shuang's behavior of running out of the city to do everything in person was inappropriate. After all, as the director of the Inspection Bureau, it didn't seem right for him to do everything in person.

But she seems to have always been like this.

If I really have to say...a good and competent director?

He could actually sense that the other party's invitation was not really asking him to help find someone to go. What kind of person am I to do such a thing? It would be ridiculous to tell others about it.

Her real purpose might be to have a private chat with me about something?

Anyway, Xu Shi could tell that although they had not had much contact during this period, Tang Shuang's attitude towards him seemed to have improved a bit. It was not the kind of improvement because of the benefits of their previous cooperation, but the whole state of her in front of him.

From the initial tension to the gradual easing later on, she even gave me a small gift before... and now she wants to whisper to me?

This actually made Xu Shi feel a little strange, because he really didn't have any feelings for Tang Shuang, or even if he did, they were not many, and he didn't even plant a single seed for her... What factors caused her attitude towards him to change again and again?

Well, it must be my personal charm.

Some people think so shamelessly.

Besides, if we wait for her to come back and have a good chat, won't we know everything?

The words are divided into two parts.

While Xu Shi was feeling a little confused, Shen He, who was hiding in the temporary base of the "Forgotten" outside the city, had the same idea.

how to say?

During this period of time, his condition has improved a lot while recuperating here, and his position is no longer as embarrassing as it was at the beginning.

At least Li Tang, Shen Qin's subordinate, is now very respectful to him - this is a sign that his ability to "unite as one" is gradually recovering. Not only Li Tang, but also the entire branch of his sister who stayed outside the city, including Song Chen and Zhao Yuan's people, he also found ways to contact some of them and established good relationships with them.

As for his sister, the two of them naturally kept in touch, and the other party also told him that she had found some people who could be contacted and united with.

All in all, everything is moving in the right direction.

But then again, even so, he still didn't think that he had enough strength to defeat Xu Shi.

At least he is much more sober now, and he can see the obvious gap - the other party may not even be interested in the top talents of the "Forgotten Ones", but he is still dealing with these people who are left behind.

Although I don't want to admit it, we are really not on the same level.

But he still couldn't swallow this anger, as the scene of being humiliated by the other party was still vivid in his mind.

Is he really going to stay here for the rest of his life, or return to Night Crime City as an ordinary person under its jurisdiction? He couldn't accept it at all.

But what else could he do...at least he couldn't think of any solution now.

Feeling upset, he went to relax near the base and change his mind.

That's when.

Shen He saw that there seemed to be a bit of out-of-place scenery at the foot of the mine not far away.

Ok?

When he looked closely, he realized that this was actually a person?

She was still a girl wearing a light yellow long skirt.

The other person seemed to have lost consciousness and fainted on the ground. The backpack next to him was opened, and the photography and painting equipment inside was scattered all over the floor.

Ah this?

This person is definitely not the "Forsaken", but someone from Nightsin City...

Shen He thought about it and decided to bring the other party back to the base, settle him down and find someone to check on the situation.

It wasn't too bad. He fainted because of the influence of "rust fog" - the level of "rust fog" outside the city was not something that people inside the city could withstand. It was similar to oxygen intoxication. It was easy to get into this situation without any protection. Fortunately, the symptoms were mild and could be suppressed with some medicine.

Under his care, within a few hours, the other party gradually woke up.

"Um...where is this?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 139 Women only affect my shutter speed

He Yuxia, who had just woken up, seemed a little confused and looked around blankly.

The temporary residence of the "Forsaken" was naturally not as comfortable as her original residence. It was just a simple house, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was shabby. After all, no one wanted to live here for the rest of their lives. Not far away was the Night Sin City. It would be better to dig more mines and reach the target as soon as possible.

But her focus was not on this. After looking around, she saw Shen He sitting aside and guarding.

"You, who are you..."

He Yuxia suddenly became alert, her mind became much clearer, and she shrank back.

"you're awake?"

Shen He came back to his senses after hearing this and quickly calmed her down, "Don't be nervous, young lady. I... am not a bad person."

"That's not necessarily true. Bad people always say they are not bad people."

He Yuxia remained alert.

"..."

Shen He was speechless. How should I respond?

Fortunately, Miss He Er seemed to have just had a stress reaction. She sat there for a while, completely regained consciousness, and sorted out the situation here.

"Is this the base of the Forgotten?"

She asked tentatively, "I remember that I seemed to be attacked by something, and then I lost consciousness...Did you save me?"

"When I saw the girl, she had fainted near the mine outside the station."

Shen He nodded, then shook his head. "As for an attack, it's unlikely. The doctor said that you inhaled too much "rust mist" in a short period of time, and your body couldn't adapt to it, so you fell into a coma... That's probably why you saw hallucinations."

This is true.

Even outside the city, there is no possibility of being attacked. Could there be wild beasts?

The answer is no. Most animals cannot survive in the "Rust Mist" and they do not mutate or anything. The only ones left are a small number who are kept in captivity as pets for meat. They are kept in Nightsin City and in the "Forsaken".

And the "Forgotten" would not be stupid enough to do anything out of line - although Zhao Yuan was not considerate in his actions, he would restrain his subordinates at this critical juncture, otherwise he would suffer the consequences. The same was true for the other second-in-commands who made the decisions.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no such people who are brave enough to not fear death, but at least the woman in front of her has not encountered such a person.

"That's right..."

He Yuxia blinked and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I really have to thank you, otherwise I would really die here without knowing why."

"You're welcome girl."

Shen He smiled and thought this silly woman was cute. "I haven't asked for your name yet, young lady? I can send you back later."

"He Yuxia."

Miss He Er did not hide it, "What about you?"

"...Luo Tian."

Of course Shen He couldn't use his real name, so he answered her using a fake name.

The fact is that he has been using a pseudonym since he came here, and only a small number of people know his real identity.

But he was also very surprised. Could this be the second daughter of "Shark Tooth"?

Although he had worked with He Yuqiang before, Shen He didn't know much about his second sister. His former partners didn't take her seriously...
